Hickox isn’t an actual practicing nurse, is she? She works for the CDC as a disease detective I read...She will never treat anyone who is infected through her careless and thoughtless behavior...

Many students pursuing master’s degrees in public health at Johns Hopkins University went home for the holidays. Kaci Hickox went to Uganda.
She spent a month at the end of 2010 caring for yellow fever patients through Doctors Without Borders, a group she had worked with several times before. She had long been passionate about providing medical care overseas, her classmate Chelsea Solmo said.
“It was more than just a hobby or an interest,” Ms. Solmo said. “She had these skills as a nurse, and she felt she had to use them.”
For the last month, Ms. Hickox, 33, was with the group in Sierra Leone, working with Ebola patients.
